Regrets? I’ve had a few… Why we make poor decisions. Café Psychologique 20 September

Have you ever made choices which you later regretted? Of course you have!

From hair-styles to Brexits, from life partners to Gulf wars, we all make choices and decisions which later fill us with horror. What is it that makes you feel regretful, or stand your ground, or even repeat the bad decisions – sometimes endlessly? Does the realisation that you’ve made poor choices in the present change the way you make decisions in the future?

Tony Blair followed Bush into Iraq. Disaster. Then he followed the US into Afghanistan. Bigger disaster. Now the UK is supporting America in attacking Syria. We wonder how that will work out? Or, maybe, you think that these were good decisions and we are all freer and safer now than we were before these wars. Why is that? Why does one person see disaster where another sees success?

At this Cafe Psychologique we shall ask these important questions. So, please join us for an evening you won’t regret.

Hmmm… We now wish we’d chosen a different topic.

Dr Elaine McMullan is a Clinical Psychologist and Philip Malone is a psychotherapist. They will introduce our conversation at Café Psychologique Leeds, on Tuesday 20 September from 8.00 pm to 9.45 pm in Seven Arts, Chapel Allerton, Leeds. The Café costs £4 on the door.
